Of all the paved joints in all the places in all the world, youíve got to
ride DH49. Sad thing is, this remote, squiggly, oceanside ride looks so great
on a map, it canít possibly live up to expectations. From a distance, it
wouldnít occur to you that it may actually have bumpy Pavement and poor
Engineering. Or that WSDOT hasnít said ďPave it again, SamĒ in quite a long
time. But it doesnít take much riding to see that a few little Character flaws
donít amount to a hill of beans in this crazy old world. If you get over your
romantic illusions, youíll grow to love the tight twisties, remote beach
stretches and water views. And if you donít, youíll always have Sekiu. If you
come all the way up here and donít get on this DH, youíll regret it. Maybe not
today and maybe not tomorrow. But soon, and for the rest of your life.

"Curve city as it hugs the coast. The
Makah reservation is beerless. You can reach beautiful ocean beaches from Neah
Bay which has motels. There is also a short walk to the awesome Cape Flattery"--Neil
